A three-day strike would likely force LAUSD to close its classrooms, Superintendent Alberto Carvalho says.
Tensions are rising and time is running out for LAUSD to reach contract agreements with its two labor unions, which are teetering on the edge of a three day strike and intend to demonstrate their readiness to walk out in a joint Wednesday afternoon rally.
SEIU Local 99 is asking for a 30% across-the-board raise and UTLA is asking for a 20% raise across the next two school years.on March 7 and UTLA followed suit on March 10, according to an update posted to the union’s website. This step legally paves the way for both unions to strike. “If this strike does occur, despite our best efforts to avoid it, due to the anticipated lack of both teachers and school staff, it is likely we would have to close schools — without virtual education — until the strike ends,” Carvalho said in the email. “We would simply have no way of ensuring a safe and secure environment where teaching can take place.”
SEIU announced that contract negotiations with the district had reached an impasse in December 2022 and in February 96% of workers voted to authorize a strike. The union has also filed several unfair labor practice charges with the California Public Employment Relations Board alleging that the district intimidated workers during the strike vote.
